I have a report I want to add a parameter in this report where user should be able to select one option from fowlloing.

SHOW ME where COL1VALUE GT 0 First Option
SHOW ME WHERE COL1VALUE LT 0 Second OPTION
SHOW ME ALL

IS there any easy way to do this? I think I dont know how to change the comparison operator on the fly depending on users value selection.

See if this gives you some ideas.

 -SET &OPTION = &CTR.(ALL,GT,LT).OPTION.;
-SET &OPTION2 = IF &OPTION EQ 'ALL' THEN 'FOC_NONE' ELSE &OPTION;
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT CAR SALES RETAIL_COST
WHERE SALES &OPTION2 RETAIL_COST;
END

prarie Very nice job. LT and GT works just fine but when I try ALL I get following error message:

  
ERROR AT OR NEAR LINE     39  IN PROCEDURE ADHOCRQ FOCEXEC *
 (FOC258) FIELDNAME OR COMPUTATIONAL ELEMENT NOT RECOGNIZED: ALL
 BYPASSING TO END OF COMMAND
 (FOC009) INCOMPLETE REQUEST STATEMENT

This is my CODE:
WHERE FIELDNAME &OPTION 0;

Please note that Prarie used &OPTION2 in the WHERE clause. She had transformed ALL to FOC_NONE which causes the line with the WHERE clause not to be executed thereby giving you all the rows.

Thank you for pointing that out. It works. It my bad that I didnt see code carefully. I also tried the following and that worked too.Since I knew none of the value is going to be null so I used following code for all and it worked too. However, foc_none is better way to go just in case if in future we get null value in the field.

  SET &OPTION = &CTR.(<Positive,GT>,<Negitive,LT>,<ALL,IS>).OPTION.;
-*-SET &PASSVAL = IF &OPTION EQ 'GT' OR 'LT' THEN 0 ELSE 'NOT MISSING';

I usually try to avoid mixing with DM codes. This makes GUI compatible.
WHERE (COLVALUE1 GT 0 AND '&OPTION' EQ 'FIRST') OR
      (COLVALUE1 LT 0  AND '&OPTION' EQ 'SECOND') OR
      ('&OPTION' EQ 'ALL')
